{ Humility to Believe }
Lots of self-discovery has been made recently! And some are certainly not comfortable to know or even face up to. But regardless, they all brought me to the same conclusion: I am humbled. 10:41 PM • Saturday, October 10, 2009
I am humbled by how spectacular and powerful are the strengths that God has put into the different people I see.
I am humbled by how there is so much more room for improvements for myself and the ministry.
I am humbled by how I am still humanly weak, imperfect, powerless and prone to fall and fail.
And,
I am humbled by how God can still work through such an imperfect vessel in a powerful way.
I believe, therefore I said, "I am greatly afflicted." ~Ps 116:10~
I believe, therefore I can face the reality that we are still plagued by many troubles and weaknesses. The reality that we are still afflicted by sin and its consequences. The reality that we have not taken hold of it yet. And I believe that this race can still be completed despite the many stumbles and falls.
"Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
- Phi 3:13-14
